Coastal Wetlands
Coastal wetlands are transitional areas between land and water that are characterized by the presence of waterlogged soils and saltwater or brackish water. These ecosystems are typically found along coastlines and are influenced by tides, waves, and currents. Coastal wetlands provide important habitat for a variety of plant and animal species, including migratory birds, fish, and invertebrates. They also serve as natural buffers against coastal erosion and flooding, as well as help to improve water quality by filtering pollutants and excess nutrients.
